Excited electrons are on higher levels of the electron clouds. It takes more energy to get them to the higher level, and energy is lost when they fall. When that energy is lost, a an x-ray photon is emitted.

What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
It depends on the atom. For example, the electron configuration of an atom of boron in the ground state is 2-3. In the excited state, it would be 2-2-1. For an atom of chlorine, the ground state configuration is 2-8-7. The excited state would be 2-8-6-1. When an atom enters the excited state, an electron moves up to a higher energy level and releases energy. An electron in the excited state is not stable until it returns to ground state.
